    This Easy Homemade Chips and Salsa recipe, is so quick to whip up for a side dish with your dinner, or as an appetizer for the next time you host a party with “fiesta,” flair.

    There are so many reasons why I love heading to Mexico, for a beach vacation.

    See our recent Mexico vacations:

    But one of the reasons I love those Mexico vacations so much, is because of the ENDLESS amounts of fresh salsa and guacamole at my fingertips.

    But… as we all know, it gets pretty expensive to head to Mexico every time I want a fresh bowl of salsa and guac, right?! So… I have to make due at home, when the craving calls.

    Instructions
     

    • In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion and juices. Mix well.
    • Stir in the salsa mix until fully combined. Cover salsa with plastic and refrigerate.

    For the Chips:

    • Heat the oil to 350 degrees in a heavy bottomed stock pot or kettle of frying oil on medium-low. Use a thermometer if you have one.
    • Cut the corn tortillas in half and then in half again to create triangles.
    • When the oil is to temperature, carefully drop a few triangles into the oil (how many will depend on the size of your pan)
    • Using a metal spatula, carefully turn the chips one time. Cook until golden brown. Place on a paper towel or paper bag to drain, salt immediately.

    Have you ever made your own salsa?  I’m sure you could also blend this, if you prefer a less-chunky, texture of the blend, but I’m a fan of this style currently.
